‘Tico Tales’

An adventure in Costa Rica usually requires New Yorkers to board a plane, but this one comes courtesy of Literally Alive, a theater company that has made the country the subject of one of its latest productions. Written by Michael Sgouros and Brenda Bell, the musical “Tico Tales” adapts traditional Costa Rican drumming and rhythms along with the culture’s folklore, incorporating characters like the colorful quetzal bird and Cira, a princess whom love turns into a volcano. A free art workshop takes place an hour before each performance.
